Activo sells 74% of company for R588m

The group is invested in a number of healthcare services segments in both the public and private healthcare markets in South Africa, with expanding operations and related applications in wholesale pharmaceutical supply, national chronic medication distribution and disease management.

“The acquisition of absolute control of Activo is therefore consistent with AfroCentric’s growth objectives through expanding its activity and application in its pharmaceutical supply and its medication distribution network,” it said.
